“We all hate something from our past, Cal. That's why we run from it, or compensate for it, or even fill our van with homeless people. But when something like this happens-when your dad shows up-maybe there is a bigger purpose. 'What you intended for evil, God intended for good.' Genesis 50:20”

“Most archivists don't like surprises. That's why we work in the past.”

“You need to understand something Cal-in this world, we're not humans having a divine experience. We're divine beings having a human experience.”

“Do you not see that? That's what being family is - that's the best part - it's not tit for tat or who owes more, it's simply - when one hurts, so does the other; when one finds good, you share in that, too. That's family.”

“So much harm comes into this world when the wrong thing is said. But that's nothing compared to the pain from what goes unsaid.”

“We all live best in our imaginations.”

“A little threat of evil is always the far better way to fill the seats. But sometimes the monsters aren't who we think they are.”
